Countdown: The Search for Ray Palmer - Crime Society #1

Countdown: The Search for Ray Palmer - Crime Society #1
Well, um, not exactly sure what to make of this. It certainly explains where Duela Dent came from, and it introduces an intriguing new character - a heroic Joker. The problem is...it's not a very good story. Sure, it shows promise, but it doesn't have anything to do with the actual search for Ray Palmer, our multiverse hopping cadre of protagonists hardly figure into it, and, well, like I said, it's not written very well. Although, honestly, other than merely making this an Elseworlds tale, I really can't figure how it could have been done better.
Like I said, the concept of this specific book is definitely intriguing, but the execution is ultimately EH.
